Millennials are spoiled. Gen Zers are lazy. We assume people born around the same time have basically the same values. It makes for good headlines, but is it true? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBobby Duffy has spent years studying generational distinctions. In \u003ci\u003eThe Generation Myth\u003c\/i\u003e, he argues that our generational identities are not fixed but fluid, reforming throughout our lives. Based on an analysis of what over three million people really think about homeownership, sex, well-being, and more, Duffy offers a new model for understanding how generations form, how they shape societies, and why generational differences aren't as sharp as we think. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Generation Myth\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital rejoinder to alarmist worries about generational warfare and social decline.
